Did you start watching football one minute ago?

No actually its been a while , unlike you I actually happen to retain memory of him giving away needless fouls/penalties over the past couple seasons. We have dropped sooo many points because of Aurier. What he did there goes to show there is absolutely no method to his thinking.Like whyyyyy ?????

Pretty average half. A few half chances on the break but Leicester have had the best of it.

We've looked best when Ndombele has dropped deep and connected the midfield to the front line as Hojbjerg and Sissoko just can't do it.

All our best play has come through him - we need to make him the heart of the team, not a peripheral part of it.
Where is this coming from? One header from a set piece? Can we stop making out the other team is deserving of their lead because we have been poor in possession and not taken at least the one chance we created?

Leicester have been as bang average as us.

It was poor from Aurier but let’s not start on him all over again as he’s been quality recently. Also Sissoko getting done in the air again - too busy looking at man rather than concentrating on the ball.

Our problems stem from the midfield where we can’t get hold of the ball and have zero control. I fully expect a change at half time.

1 point from Palace, Liverpool and Leicester is better than nothing.

Just hope we're up for the big game midweek

They'll sit and defend the whole second half now and just hit on the counter, exactly what you don't want Leicester to do.

Aurier is a thick ****, why the fuck would you make that challenge. Take him off and put Sissoko there as Doherty is shit too.

Why don’t more keepers stay in the middle for Vardy’s penalties? He smashes it down the middle more often than not like the brainless gob shite he is

We looked more attacking and better in the last 10 minutes, but tbf it didn’t take much to improve from the shit opening half hour or so. With regards to the play style, who is their most dangerous player? Vardy. What doe he do best? Get in behind. This is why I had no problem with the set up once again. Nullify their biggest threat bu restricting space. Same v. Liverpool. I DID have a problem with the style against palace, but here I have none. Unfortunately, we gifted them the opener and now we have to go for it.

Absolutely inexplicable from Aurier. Top players simply don't do that. We've been shite but we didn't be really look like conceding.

The problem with playing defensive is that when you are in this position it can be difficult to flick a switch and attack. It just doesn't work like that.

Therefore, Jose has to make a change.

I will take Sissoko and maybe also Lo Celso off for Vinicius and Bale. We need more bodies upfront to worry their defence. Son and Kane are too deep to trouble them at all. Vinicius and Kane/Son as the front two.

Badly need a magic from Bale. Please for the sake of all of us.

Such a stupid way to concede. The last 10 minutes we'd started to look a little more threatening, but generally we were a pretty distant second best. They are technically some way ahead of us and again we stand off giving them time and comfort on the ball.
